Modalities of Massage
Functional massage therapy is an intuitive approach focused on assessment of the root cause of pain, discomfort & limitation in activity. It utilizes an integrated approach of multiple modalities to eliminate or reduce the cause of the issue. The goal is to loosen and break up restricted fascia & scar tissue, lengthen muscle attachments & help sore, tired, overworked muscles recover. Additional goals include detoxing & flushing the system of lactic acid & toxins, as well as increasing mind-body awareness & maintaining general wellness as part of your preventative health regimen. These techniques can be used to yield improved cosmetic results as well & overall relaxation & reduced stress.
